Ah, you're saying that because 6b78f16e4bdde3936b wasn't in 3.6, this
isn't needed for 3.6 either.

I created scripts to find the commits that made it into 3.7 and 3.8 that
were not added to 3.6 and just cherry-picked them. Unless they failed
because of a conflict, I really didn't look hard at them.

Thanks, I guess I can remove this change then.
